I just bought a refurbished Garmin S12 for $89 from GPS City and have played 2 rounds with it and am 100% totally satisfied and great features for an amazing price. Added the Garmin Golf App on my iPad and it syncs immediately. Extremely comfortable and light to wear. I love how it learns you are keeping score and the scoring screen appears immediately after I exit the green. I had a SkyCaddie with a very expensive subscription fee and I am done with paying every year and have an easier to use GPS with great features. Highly recommended.

[@RajKumar-zm4ll]

Excellent watch comparison review Kevin well done.

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thank you Raj 🙏

[@michchadwick68]

Well done kevin as that review would of taken lots of time to do,i am very impressed with your very detail to what is suitable to every golfer. I have played golf in the past but new to coming back to the game from many years absent. Your review has definetly helped me lots,many thanks 👍

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thanks so much Michael, really appreciate it. Welcome back to golf!

[@bentottle917]

Thank you Kevin for your reviews. I based my watch purchase off your reviews and im glad i chose the Ion Elite. Cheers pal.

[@GolfGuyReviews]

That’s great to hear, thanks Ben 👍

[@anthonyrichardson7543]

Great comparison!

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thank you 🙏

[@markfogden4549]

Brilliant video Kevin. Personally I would go for the Bushnell Ion Elite or the Garmin S12

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thanks so much Mark. It’s taken a fair old while to make, but hopefully worth it! I cut out a section where I shared my personal favourites, and these were in there along with the shotscope

[@guybrown1865]

Great review Guy Canada 🇨🇦

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thanks Guy, really appreciate it 👍

[@GOLFADDICT65]

wow the new S70 is out now....wow what a golf watch 926.00 Canadian......cheers from Canada

[@BAT0607]

Hey man! Will you be putting out a review soon of the Nike Victory Tour 3 shoes?

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Not in the next week or two I’m afraid, just too busy at the moment. I will be posting one though

[@RajKumar-zm4ll]

Kevin a question for you as Skycaddie walk the course as opposed to GPS which watch in your opinion gives the most accurate yardage?

[@GolfGuyReviews]

In my opinion Skycaddie will give you the most accurate course maps - so there shouldn’t be any hazards missing. But it doesn’t mean their gps is any more accurate than any others, so I found the yardages for the most part we’re the same as other gps watches I’ve used

[@RajKumar-zm4ll]

Thank you Kevin that has sorted out a query. Much appreciated.

[@nicneam]

Great video, could you possibly tell us which ones require paid subscription (if any) for use of the apps for the watches.

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thanks for watching! All will work without a subscription, but the SkyCaddy LX2 needs a subscription to unlock features that the others have for free, and the Garmin also offers a subscription but the features it unlocks aren't really applicable to their S12. I hope that helps.

[@nicneam]

@@GolfGuyReviews great thanks that helps with the decision process for me, much appreciated keep up the good work 👍

[@GOLFADDICT65]

Hi Good video.....i currently have the s12 and no other watches ...and am trying to decide between the s62 / s70 / Apple series 8 / Epix Gen2 .....still can not decide.....i golf about 120-150 rounds a year.... I want something that can be used as a good golf watch and a good everyday watch with health stats........interested in what your thoughts are on this.....thx...cheers from Vulcan Canada

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Thanks Golf Addict. I think it will depend on a few factors. What’s most important to you: battery life - any Garmin screen quality - Apple Watch, Garmin s70, epix gen 2, compatibility with your phone - Apple Watch (if you’re running android this doesn’t really matter) golf features - maybe Garmin s62,s70, epix g2, but Apple Watches do everything you need price - Apple Watch, s62 Hope that helps

[@RajKumar-zm4ll]

Hi Kevin with reference to the Skycaddie Lx2 are you able to turn off the scoring mode?

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Sorry Raj, I’m not sure, I’ve since sold it 🤣

[@RajKumar-zm4ll]

No worries Kevin

[@tonyweymouth3111]

I have the shotscope V3, not impressed , lots of problems over the 3 yrs I have had it 👎

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Ah that sucks to hear…it certainly has its quirks

[@tonyweymouth3111]

Great reviews mate, enjoyable video. I see you recommended the Bushnell Ion elite, you can get one for £174 now, I augmented you think that’s a good deal and worth it, cheers.

[@GolfGuyReviews]

For that price, I think it’s a good watch 👍 if you’re looking for a colour touch screen or full hole maps, this is the best option in that price range that I’ve tested. Thank you Tony 👍 You might want to check out the new Shotscope V5 that launched today, but based on previous experience you might not be keen.

[@tonyweymouth3111]

@@GolfGuyReviews Thanks for your response and feedback, much appreciated, keep up the great reviews 👌

[@sm00v00]

touch screen golf watch is non·sense Garmin S12 is all you need.

[@GolfGuyReviews]

For the majority of golfers you’re not wrong 👍
